my text Read Bartleby the scrivener (Melville, 1856) the first time, can produce confusion and a lot of emotions about why Bartleby acted in that way, but the most complex thing is try to understand how with his behavior he achieved keep his job and how nobody can confront him despite he was broking all the known rules. He was not rude, angry or something like that, but people did not know how act with him. The story begins to look mysterious, an enigma, but then, when the reader decide go beyond and look the story again, or find other resources and views like films and theatre can discover what is behind that those strange and wrong words that became the most powerful weapon and like music that everybody wants repeat after read them: I would prefer not to.
